Outline Activities
I have lead a research group exploring materials strength and characterisation in 3D/4D. My research is in the field of deformation, fracture and fatigue on a wide range of structural/functional materials. A major focus is the exploration of the microstructure and the microstructure-property relations of such materials utilizing synchrotron X-ray microtomography at the third generation facilities, in particular the development of advanced 3D/4D measurements of stress/strain, crack-driving forces, chemical composition and crystallographic information in high density together with their applications to various issues in materials and mechanical engineerings. Recently we have proposed a new concept entitled "Reverse 4D Materials Engineering", in which the complex morphologies of existing materials is taken into account to realize a paradigm shift in materials development for structural/functional materials. We are also in charge of the development of new innovative aerospace materials that is based on a real fracture behavior that has been achiebved by applying the above-mentioned techniques.

1. H.Toda, K. Hirayama, K. Okamura, T. Suzuki, A. Takeuchi, M. Uesugi, H. Fujihara, Multimodal assessment of mechanically induced transformation in metastable multi‐phase steel using X‐ray nano‐tomography and pencil‐beam diffraction tomography, Acta Materialia, 10.1016/j.actamat.2022.117956, 234, 117956, 2022.08, A combination of X-ray nano-tomography and pencil-beam diffraction tomography was utilized for multimodal assessment of the mechanically induced transformation of individual retained austenite grains during tensile deformation in a 0.1C-5Mn-1Si multi-phase steel. In the present study, a newly developed high energy (20 - 30 keV) and high resolution (spatial resolution of 0.16 µm in this study) X-ray nano-tomography technique was applied for the first time to the in-situ observation of a steel under external loading. The gradual transformation, plastic deformation, and rotation behaviour of the individual austenite grains were clearly observed in 3D. It was revealed that the early stage of the transformation was dominated by the stress-assisted transformation that can be associated with measured mechanical driving force, whilst the overall transformation was dominated by the strain-induced transformation that is interrelated with measured dislocation multiplication. The transformation behaviour of individual grains was classified according to their initial crystallographic orientation and size. Noteworthy was the high stability of coarse austenite grains (i.e., 2.5 μm or larger in diameter), contrary to past reports in the literature. Characteristic rotation behaviour and wide data dispersion were also observed in the case of the individual austenite grains. It was conclusively demonstrated that such characteristic behaviour partly originated from interactions with surrounding soft and hard phases. The origins of these characteristics are discussed by combining the image-based and diffraction-based information..

Toda, Switching nanoprecipitates to resist hydrogen embrittlement in high-strength aluminum alloys, Nature Communications, 10.1038/s41467-022-34628-4, 13, 1, 6860, 2022.11, Hydrogen drastically embrittles high-strength aluminum alloys, which impedes efforts to develop ultrastrong components in the aerospace and transportation industries. Understanding and utilizing the interaction of hydrogen with core strengthening elements in aluminum alloys, particularly nanoprecipitates, are critical to break this bottleneck. Herein, we show that hydrogen embrittlement of aluminum alloys can be largely suppressed by switching nanoprecipitates from the η phase to the T phase without changing the overall chemical composition. The T phase strongly traps hydrogen and resists hydrogen-assisted crack growth, with a more than 60% reduction in the areal fractions of cracks. The T phase-induced reduction in the concentration of hydrogen at defects and interfaces, which facilitates crack growth, primarily contributes to the suppressed hydrogen embrittlement. Transforming precipitates into strong hydrogen traps is proven to be a potential mitigation strategy for hydrogen embrittlement in aluminum alloys..

Unfortunately, effective ways to progress on the strength-HE trade-off for Al-alloys remain elusive. A strategy of suppressing HE by introducing intermetallic compound (IMC) particles to achieve hydrogen redistribution in various trapping sites was proposed. Here, we systematically induce the precipitation of a constant volume fraction of intermetallic compound (IMC) particles by adding one of 14 elements in a ternary Al-Zn-Mg high-strength alloy. We show a strong correlation between hydrogen trapping energies of the IMC obtained from ab initio calculations with the resistance to HE. Mn-rich Al11Mn3Zn2 particles exhibit the highest hydrogen trapping energy (0.859 eV/atom), leading to a decrease by approximately 5 orders of magnitude in the hydrogen occupancy in η2 (MgZn2) phase interfaces and grain boundaries, where HE cracks initiate. The Mn-addition did not deteriorate the ductility and most Al11Mn3Zn2 particles remained intact during plastic deformation which was revealed by in-situ 3D X-ray tomography. Hydrogen-induced strain localization at η2 phase interfaces and grain boundaries were inhibited due to strong hydrogen trapping capacity of Al11Mn3Zn2, hence preventing HE cracks initiation. Our approach effectively suppresses hydrogen-induced cracks without sacrificing the ductility, and our strategy can help the design roadmap of HE-tolerant high-strength metallic alloys..

Leclere, Kentaro Uesugi, Akihisa Takeuchi, Kyosuke Hirayama, Diffraction-amalgamated grain boundary tracking for mapping 3D crystallographic orientation and strain fields during plastic deformation, ACTA MATERIALIA, 10.1016/j.actamat.2016.01.072, 107, -, 310-324, 2016.04, By amalgamating the X-ray diffraction technique with the grain boundary tracking technique, a novel method, diffraction-amalgamated grain boundary tracking (DAGT), has been developed. DAGT is a non-destructive in-situ analysis technique for characterising bulk materials, which can be applied up to near the point of fracture. It provides information about local crystal orientations and detailed grain morphologies in three dimensions, together with high-density strain mapping inside grains. As it obtains the grain morphologies by utilising X-ray imaging instead of X-ray diffraction, which latter is typically vulnerable to plastic deformation, DAGT is a fairly robust technique for analysing plastically deforming materials. Texture evolution and localised deformation behaviours have here been successfully characterised in Al-Cu alloys, during tensile deformation of 27% in applied strain. The characteristic rotation behaviours of grains were identified, and attributed to the effects of interaction with adjacent grains on the basis of the 3D local orientation and plastic strain distributions. It has also been revealed that 3D strain distribution in grains is highly heterogeneous, which is not explained by known mechanisms such as simple incompatibility with adjacent grains or strain percolation through soft grains. It has been clarified that groups consisting of a few adjacent grains may deform coordinately, especially in shear and lateral deformation, and the characteristic deformation pattern is thereby formed on a mesoscopic scale.

Each high-resolution absorption-contrast image was registered with a corresponding phase-contrast image, to analyse damage evolution behaviour. The loading step at which each microvoid was nucleated was identified by tracking the microvoid throughout tension, together with its nucleation site. Premature damage initiation was observed at a relatively early stage at various nucleation sites, such as the ferrite interior, martensitic interior and ferrite/martensite interfaces; however, the subsequent growth of such microvoids was relatively moderate. On the other hand, microvoids were also initiated later due to martensitic cracking after the maximum load was reached, and these microvoids subsequently exhibited rapid growth. The martensite cracking induced additional damage evolution mainly along nearby ferrite/martensite interfaces and intersections between the martensite and the ferrite grain boundary. It is notable that the microvoids originating from martensitic cracking exhibited characteristic shear-dominated growth under macroscopic tension, whereas those originating from the other nucleation sites exhibited traditional triaxiality-dominated growth. It was concluded that the ductile fracture was dominated by the substantial force driving the growth of microvoids located on morphologically characteristic martensitic particles.
